Step by Step

Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the yolks with 50 g of sugar until they turn whitish. Add the mascarpone and beat in.
Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, gradually adding the sugar as you go. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
Mix the coffee with the amaretto.
Arrange a bottom layer of broken sponge fingers. Brush them thoroughly with the coffee and amaretto mixture. Next add a layer of the creamy mascarpone, followed by another layer of moist sponge, and finally another layer of the creamy mascarpone.
If you have time, it’s worth leaving overnight.
Serve with a dusting of cocoa power on top.

Nutritional Tips

- Tiramisu is the definitive Italian dessert.
- Amaretto is a sweet almond liqueur that is traditionally used in this recipe, but you can easily use rum or brandy instead.
- You can make a children’s version by using decaffeinated coffee and leaving out the alcohol.
- It’s important to remember that dishes made with raw eggs should always be kept in the fridge.
